Higashitsugaru District, Administrative district in Aomori Prefecture, Japan
Higashitsugaru District encompasses four municipalities: Hiranai, Imabetsu, Yomogita, and Sotogahama, covering 652 square kilometers of northeastern Japan.
The district emerged on October 30, 1878, during the Meiji period reforms, transforming from the former Tsugaru District into a structured administrative region.
Each municipality within the district maintains local traditions through seasonal festivals, agricultural practices, and maritime activities that define regional identity.
The district serves as a vital reference point for postal services and electoral boundaries, facilitating administrative organization within Aomori Prefecture.
Marine resources from the district's coastal areas support local economies through fishing activities and waterfront developments in Hiranai and Sotogahama.
